Re: Why still nerfing priest

Well with regards to PVP, I play a discipline priest and I'm somewhat mediocre rated (2015), my character name is Edizio on Neptulon and is an alt. He's the only character I play with and I find that damage in arena right now is extremely potent. Even with pennance on no cooldown, it's possible for me to be burst down extremely fast.

The new change to resillience with my current gearset will reduce all damage taken by 25.47% as well as reduce the damage from critical strikes by a further 25.47%. With this being said, I think that penance would probably be too good and would be quite boring. The new change is going to allow me to use other spells as well as penance.

Under no circumstances am I saying that changing penance to a 12 second cooldown right now in the game (live) is reasonable, however with a 25.47% in overall damage reduction, I think that it is needed.

I'm in a holy spec 90% of the time im raiding. The change to PoH doesn't really tick me off. Developers thought the spell healed too much, or would scale to much for future encounters. I get it, and I'll adjust accordingly.

However, this Penance nerf is completely based on the never resting micro-management of 2v2 PvP Arenas. No where in their explanations was mention that a 6.4sec CD vs a 8sec CD was making content trival in PvE. Furthermore, the implementation of the nerf is clunky. The same 8sec CD can be accomplished by removing/changing the glyph rather than tinkering with the base CD. The change just feels meddlesome rather than balancing.

They already said Barrier isn't coming. You just got buffed in survival, but yes Penance was nerfed. But now people better start speccing into Inspiration too. -11% damage from resilience and -10% physical damage on crits = congrats you've just found yourself less squishy. While I'll admit 2 seconds may seem like alot I think everyone will be ok. It probably hurts more than Druids or Paladins, but that happens.

Re: Why still nerfing priest

Priests seem more annoyed by the way Blizzard nerfed Penance rather than the nerf itself. As stated by SpiritusVex, they could have just changed the glyph of Penance to something else, instead of increasing the cooldown on the spell itself and forcing every Discipline priest to take this glyph.

I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.
